Overview
- Android Authority uncovered the Samsung Health Assistant in a beta version of the app, accessible via a new chat icon on the home screen with settings under Settings > Health assist > Samsung Health Assistant.
- The AI chatbot answers user questions about activity, sleep, nutrition, stress, and Energy Score, and it helps set and track fitness goals while offering targeted tips.
- Samsung flags the tool as a coaching aid that does not diagnose conditions or offer medical treatments.
- Reporting indicates the assistant will draw on data from Galaxy Watch models, the Galaxy Ring, and Galaxy phones to personalize responses, which may be limited if relevant data is missing.
- Some outlets report Samsung is also exploring options to connect users with doctors and handle Walgreens medication subscriptions, though these potential features have not been confirmed by the company.
